The man died Saturday at 10:30 p.m, and his death was reported to police on Sunday. Police believe the man was pushed by a fellow resident earlier in the week.
An autopsy conducted today by the Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.
Police say they won’t lay charges, because the suspect is not criminally culpable due to his cognitive impairment.
